In order to file for an uncontested divorce, you need to be able to get your husband to sign a document known as a "Waiver of Citation." Otherwise, you will need to file a divorce petition in your county, attempt to serve him with the paperwork, allow him to answer the divorce petition, and try to come to an agreement about what will happen with the property the two of you acquired during your marriage. For more information, please contact 713-574-8626. I'd be happy to help.

I live in Texas, and my wife attempted to serve me divorce papers Friday, two days ago. She demands that I vacate our home immediately.

You do not have to move out of the house.  If there is a hearing set for Thursday and you are served on Monday, then you should appear at the hearing and request a continuance in order to find an attorney.  If your wife has requested exclusive use of the house, that issue will be decided at a hearing for temporary orders.  I would encourage you to consult an attorney and file a counter petition in which you also request exclusive use of the residence and custody of the children if that is your desire.  If you do not feel safe in the house, then stay elsewhere temporarily. If you feel your children are not safe then take them out of the house temporarily as well. When you are served, please review the Temporary Restraining Order carefully. It will not order you to leave the house because that cannot be done without a hearing unless your wife was able to convince the court that you commmited family violence.  You are allowed to communicate with your wife but not in a harrassing manner.  You are allowed to have your children in your possession.  There are many things that are standard and stated in the restraining order that you will not be able to do.  Be aware of them and follow the rules. If at the hearing the court decides that your wife should have the exclusive temporary use of the house, you will be given time to find a place to live and move out.

Texas is not a alimony state.  Texas has spousel maintainece under certain situations; ie been married for more than 10 years; spouse suffering from a disabiliy; married for more than 10 years and spouse lacks the ability to be self sufficient.   In Texas, when a divorce is filed the spouse does not have to leave the marital home.  You might be able to obtain a "kick out" order under certain circumstances.
